on a friday
should be plenty of people in NA playing
i think the servers might jus tbe fucked
prime time in amurica
nvm deploying
getting super long queues for both scav runs and pmc
yeah if you are in NA then its prime time and probably just long queues^^
Great success. I've bumped my survival rate above 1/3.
I dunno, I'm pretty much a professional EFT player now.
holy moly was just able to extract with a 4(3) man squad shooting at me cause i killed one and booked it
lmao
looooool
thank good smugglers boat was there
@bold kernel yeah I'm not even sure why tbh
god*
good ol rng of the smuggler boat
heard them coming too
custom
nice
you just @'ed everyone in this channel lmao
i keeping going into customs to try to do my quest
and i get an insane dorms spawn
couldnt say no
got like 150k worth of shit so not bad
should i just sell this pp-91
@everyone does not do anything
they took 2 points off my chest and 1 out of my helm
jesus
they fucked up everything else
how do i know where to go to extract w/o map
Nor @here
@stone socket lemme find a link
@stone socket search up maps
Memory
fuck dude
what map you goin ginto?
ah smart
the AKM series suck
Week yeah
never buy a map btw
Well
i'm asttempting customs but still in que
customs you have to learn eventually, a majority of quests happen there
ah the important map
ffs have to get over gear fear and finally do the first prapor quest on customs KEKW
a majority of EARLY quests happens here
at 1m roubles but haven't done that yet
so you def have to learn it
thats something that just comes with time
i would never go to dorms in customs normally
wouldnt have the balls
but ive gotten more and more confidence
theres a lot of quests that happens in dorms
oh yea
just say fuck it
i get my adar and insure my shit and go in blazin
so yeah I passed by a train car on railroad
i just hope they are high geared people and they ignore my shit lmao
cleared left like a dumbass walking past the car
mfer was on my right and blasted me
how does this sherpa thing work? been in here the waiting room for like 35 min
@deep meadow #sherpa-info
@steady pilot so chat in here like i just did then... didnt realize ๐
dumb question. does exp from scav runs not count towards your account? i got 2k xp but on the char screen it shows i still have 1.3k at lvl 2
?
it does not count
no it does not
I wish it counted but nah it doesn't
you only keep the loot
doesn't count for quests either
so scav its really just for getting loot
Scav xp goes to your scav level and skills
there's scav level???
having a bit of a hard time getting the tasks done without getting reked all the time on my pmc.. either all the scavs are dead or i get killed on my way to a scav spawn
yes
I'm pretty sure my Scav has better stats than my PMC right now.
what the hell
you can view scav stats while playing one.
@timber dock I mean scav you don't have to deal with half the people
Aye.
so i should stash it for a while?
adar is good but not worth much
depending on how it is modded you can take it into raid with you, a basic adar is roughly 15k-18k
having a bit of a hard time getting the tasks done without getting reked all the time on my pmc.. either all the scavs are dead or i get killed on my way to a scav spawn
anyone mind helping me get through the first few tasks?
is SPP 9x39 any good?
why? BP has higher pen
and sp6 has a rather low dmg shouldn't it be the other way round?
ah ok sry my bad then
i fixed if it makes more sense.
sp6 slaps, you dont need the extra for spp
you can if you want.
they are enough dmg to 1 tap head or 2 tap chest regardless
each round i lsited
died instantly with 250k gear so im tilt requeueing with 600k
surely thhis will work out ๐
its just whether or not they pen
i killed a dude who had 4 30 rounders of SPP
that's some good mon monz
he also had 2 AS VALs on him
anyone down to help a newish player complete a few tasks?
im assuming superformance slugs arent worth anything?
they are kinda crap
alright ill vendor
scav ammo is so shit lmao
phew these times are wild
they really are
is the rb-vo or bk key more likely to have loot?
i have both rn, just wanna know which i should suicide for first
๐
queue times are high apparently
if your stuck for 3 mins at waiting session start then yes thats a bug and i would restart
which means i have to go to bed ๐
im going to bed anyways lol
nice next scav has fal I think
FAL is good
uh
It's a never ending pack of crackers.
try eating something else?
maybe your pmc really likes crackers
so how did you guys get over the initial frustration of learning when you first started
im enjoying the game and gameplay but dying all the time is frustrating
I've been playing for 3 years and i still get frustrated, i cant really get over it
the key is learning how to live
I know where the exits are and use the maps
not always picking fights, using cover, etc
but the reward for doing the right things and making it out is much better than getting mad at a video game
it's just i jump when i get shot at, and seem to die constantly
go into offline raid on factory with horde and see what its like to get shot at lots

might help get rid of bullet fear lol
hah
i could do that lmao
i dno it's just like
i feel like part of it is im going in with way too much adrenaline/stress and keeping it up constantly
you have to find ways to train yourself to not jump
i had the same problems
now its easier, partially cause i play with experienced friends
yeah my friends and i area ll new lmao
im also a bit frustrated because i need to hit 5 to get the flea
to buy decent ammo
so rn im using all bunk ammo
that does suck, but even bad ammo can still be useful
Eh
just means i have to avoid other players for the most part
yea
i also try to avoid combat and still somehow get shot lmao
they dont
i think
tho i did unload 5 shots from a mosin into one
that refused to die
then bled out from leg wounds lmao
gotta headshot i know
didnt ahve a scope tho
and the iron sights on a mosin are a bit ass by default
i think i just need to chill out
cause like
im playing like im strung out lmao
holy fuck
just died after killing 4/5 of a team
last guy was smart lamo
damn last guy had armor
either 4/5 or wiped a 3 man and killed 1 of a dou
with a shotgun too
lmao
with bad bullets
those are the games im fine with dying
cause i had a chance and took it
can someone help me unlock Jaeger?
@barren dome he is on woods near the airplane
the wiki will show you the exact location if you pull it up
I am bad, anyone wanna help
for the jaeger kill 7 scavs without body armor. does a armor tac rig count?
can i learn how to play
looking for help with tasks
do we go in the sherpa waiting room for the beginner assistance
@bold kernel https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa
which key is needed for the old gas shack?
No key needed
new player, anyone wana group up
i remember someone did a guide for all the hidden stashes on Shoreline and numbered them
i have the map with the numbers
but can't find the imgur gallery detailing each one. does anyone have it?
if it was on imgur, it was probably from reddit post?
yea i can't find the reddit post either
that's the map, yes. each number on there is a stash. i'm looking for the additional images that go through each number showing where the stash is
Try googling the username in that image
yea i found his reddit, doesn't look like he was the one that did the gallery i'm looking for, i think they just used his map
Each stash should hold the same loot, but im pretty sure theres videos on youtube showing each one's location
not the same loot, but same type of loot
@upper sky https://imgur.com/gallery/u861meP
@celest condor ahhh this is it! thank you so much!! was losing my mind haha
I store stuff like that on my discord for easy reference.
Customs
My fav, Interchange
killa shoots scavs?
@barren dome Player scavs, yes
Yup, he will mow down player scavs.
alsdjflkasjdfklajslkdfjalksdjflk
All the bosses will.
Only reshala's guards will warn you to stay away
with reshala himself shooting on sight
I think the Reserve boss' minions do that too.
For a boss, he aint smart. Wearing no armor
They give you ten seconds.. then they start blastin'.
@celest condor yea i use that Interchange one all the time, and used that Customs one to learn (got them all memorised now)
Huh, didnt know interchange had all those hidden stashes
The only one I ever found was the one by rails on customs, near gas station, only because I was crawling to hide myself
So I literally just watched my roommate leave a raid as a scav with looted gear, a second gun and everything. they get to the scav end screen. (not a run through) and they are stuck with essentially everything they originally had
and when they try to move things from scav to stash, it's giving a move error.
So my friend told me the FoV and scopes are broken when raising it, and now ive been trying to play on 50 fov but it feels kinda ass... is what he said true? and if so whats the highest i should go on FoV on a 27" screen?
no
only for the VSS pretty much
and VAL
irons and collimators
playing max fov is fine
does anyone have a budget ak build?
@mossy jungle I use 75 FOV without issues with all guns and scopes/iron sights I have ever used.
cause issue only comes when using the VSS and VAL due to the weird ammo
@bold kernel I do, one moment
hmm alright, thanks guys :)
what kinda ak tho?
74m or 74n
Ak parts are pretty much all interchangeable. Makes modding them easy
except for fixed and folder stocks
is it the M or N that has more modding slots
same. Only real difference I know of it the M allows the Zhukov-S stock.
M and N has the best recoil with BIS
i find M is better for budget builds
thank you guys
80k for that little recoil is impressive. @celest condor
this ones mine.
find parts saying its 67k
@bold kernel
if you want another option
Couple days ago when I did mine it was around 67K for the build. Been going up since then
its because of the 74N base
74M base is way better to do a budget build on because stock stock is better than a fixed one
and its cheap as fuck
74N is meta so its a bit more expensive
i just found a usec key on my scav is that any good ?
Either way, look at the attachments and you see a lot of similarities there. Gives a good idea on where to start.
And those mods are pretty universal to all the AKs
why do you have the rear iron sight still on
can you do quests on a scav run?
no
Plus as pmc, there might be "in raid" items you have to find on that character
Things like hats, cigarettes, tushonkas....
Find in raid items can be found as a scav.
thanks guys for the builds, what's the reason the 74n is meta over 74m?
comes down the Zhukov-S stock I believe.
oh so M has no stock options beside default?
SCAV HAS FAL
lots of options, just not that ONE
FAL HAS M80
ah gotcha
srry caps
Items worth selling in the Flea Market / Therapist.
(Check if you don't need these items for any quests - we have a quest table that shows every items required for every quest)
thanks for answering
New to the game. Played a little last night and looted some weapons from scavs, but I'm really not sure what to do now. What is the best thing for new players to do?
Quests @dark epoch
How do you get quests?
do offline raids to learn the maps/practice aim
I didn't even know quests were a thing in this game
Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a big part of Escape from Tarkov.
There are many quests in Escape from Tarkov. Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places.
Quests are the fastest way of gaining XP in Escape from Tarkov. Completing one will often reward you with thousands, if not tens of thousands of XP points.
On top of the experience, quests reward you with:
Trader Reputation. By gaining trader reputation you unlock new trader loyalty levels. Each time you unlock a new loyalty level you will be able to purchase a large number of new items from that trader.
Quest locked items. Some items can only be purchased from a trader after you complete their relevant quest.
How do people buy a game and know nothing about it 
@dark epoch i can do a few runs with you and get ya learned up if you like
hmmm should prob do customs, get over gear fear
@warped halo what animu is thats
does the game queue you up with other duos if you are in a duo?
no
whew this scav started with a m700 with 45 m61 bullets
thicc sniper boi
and this cool jason mask
shattered mask
lmao it counts as a helmet?
all you need is for someone to shoot you in the back
do you guys always ensure your stuff?
ya
it never costs much
and gives u the option to drop ur gun/gear in a bush if u find another pmc's
is 8k a good price?
i have all starter stuff. haven't even played yet
well 8k might be a bit much if u never played
u might be taking too much in
for ur very first game
ur gonna get shot in the side/back 50 times
before u even see whos shooting u when u first start
yikes
building that gun range 
u dont know angles, timings, etc
so im just sayin be careful what u take it when u first start
so u dont just blow it all
@stone socket do 1-2 offline matches
first
get a feel for the scavs
and up them a bit
ah okay
then go online
do it like a man
will help
forget offline
shh
i learned without offline
going for offline
I dont regret a second of it
im poor atm
played 10 days and am at 15mil inventory value
got like 496k
got like 5-6 lab cards
1 factory key

yaya i get a lot of money from jackets stuffin keys in myt docs/keytool
my stash only worth like
uhm 11-12mil
;-;

and gave away a bunch to friends
iono when I first started i only used pistols on pmc's died in 20 seconds got money on scav rinse repeat
same
was de life
xD
then u realize armor and helmet
plus gun with mags
equals way more
XD
well can...
;-;
I actually miss
I found a paracord on a dead scav (not an actual scav, just the lootable dead scav) is this normal?
playing online when I first started
until u spawn and walk 10 meters and get ur head blown off
shit was like a horror game
and then when I first started using headphones in game shit was like a horror game again
now its more like easy pickings
If you wanna see some experianced aggressive playing on customs with commentary, Im streaming on Twitch. Its linked to my name, and im rushing fdorms nack to back to back
until some guys in gear come
and its like fuck fuck fuck shoooot
lol
then it a 50/50
now I hear 3 guys surrounding me I just run out the room and sacrifice my body
xD

r u talking to me smurf?
cmon game
quest is telling me to go to factory
synchronizing lul
is it ok if i find it at other places?
yeah
and unless it says "Find in RAID" you can simply buy them.
most people dont get it at factory
*2 minutes
does anyone want to show me where in interchange i can find them
aw yis server connection lost
hold alt
is it like splitting in minecraft in any way
or ctrl, I dont remember
Control
its ctrl
drag and control
@left vapor brother :birbhug:
Who on earth are we hugging here
nice 6b13 on scav
what is 6b13
@fickle kettle is class 4 ceram armor
oh oh i remember now
reserve is so weird lately...
freaking like kill 5-6 PMC in 1 match
all of them are hatchling
i think he dropped it
@rotund sand why not xd
ya i can see
10.7/47
should have aim for the head
suc potato, what level is he ? @warped halo
lel
is adaptive contrast useful to turn on
If I want help is Sherpa waiting room where I wait?
@bold kernel i dont think so
no
Oh
246 votes and 53 comments so far on Reddit
Anyone have updated map like this for reserve?
Does that end me up in beginners or do I just jump in when there's an opening
Where it says name on the spots
!wiki Reserve
Wiki doesnt have good ones
@left vapor he mean there is picture to show the extract
Ones that are clear with the name of extract and the spot, not numbered and then I have to find the number
yes this thx
what's the most durability anyone here has used on their favorite weapon?
ah fuck im blind
I'm down about 32.1 dura on my favorite M4
ffs
when you're geared cause you killed people
but there's a squad in kiba with loud guns
when you get the jump on one from said high ground
but your aim sucks and you don't kill him even after firefighting for over a minute with m855 adar ammo
in my defense though
where the fuck do I aim with adar reflex sight
depends on sighting
cause that fatass front sight
ah
@bold kernel wdym
that
!wiki shoreline
yeah i hate that adar cuz u cant see anything
of the center of view
saved my ass so many times
Hmm
rip that first guy trying to kill me around the corner
hi shoot
smg'd straight into my armor

ok haul
why are you lurking
ignore the piles of ammo
What's the best mount to put on a vss so that I can put a sight like the pk-06 on it?
oh wait it was a1
Are there any that don't extend far above the gun?
that pp19 is about the only thing I would've kept lol
wait no
Could ask you the same
ah
i'm not lurking
๐
itโs 4am
it came from a scav
Well about
who I accidentally shot
i love getting shot
It's Olmost 10 lol
and having no idea where im getting shot from
I swear it wasn't intentional
what's the most durability you've used up on a weapon boys?
@deft kelp yeah audio kinda sucks
i'm playing shoot
and you should be sleeping
there's also so much fucking open space in customs
Playing what
@warped halo you can get a normal gas block for it
don't say that here
Sleep is for the weak
it's impossible to tell where the fucking bullets are flying from
tarkov ofc
Rommel and Passed
Also itโs Saturday
if you praise the SKS
Woah
that's the frustrating thing is like.... they just shot me from fuck knows where
Veprs are gay

@left vapor isee vudu
Who do you vudu
Who doesnโt use the best scope
I love the Elcan but no one else gives it love
moving onto an akm or 104 is great once you aren't poor as fuck
6b13
I literally have to chance my scope sens whenever I use the elcan
soaked so many fucking hits
AH FUCK
I skipped over the stats page
rip
I wanted to see how much I soaked up
and how much dmg I did to them
it's my good luck armor
so how the fuck do you figure out where you're getting shot from
cause most of my deaths are just
@deft kelp audio sucks shit
getting shot by someone i cant see from somewhere i dont know
and im even using good headphones
so Conk
the 1st thing
you should do after researching extracts
is to research player spawns
^
learn player spots, loot spots
@left vapor he was enjoy his loot run lel
because thats where they are going to be
from there you should predict player movement and posting positions
@fickle kettle he must be so pissed lmao,
last time I killed him he had a glock and a m1a
and bunch of loot that you get from server/school
I`m literally farming him, I feel bad
is their choice in life
it's more like
they choice to be hatchling
here Conk
and + he was using a tripzip
I'll give you a hypothetical scenario
aka he freaking prepared lol
let's say you spawned customs
what do I do with scav knives again
and your next nearest possible pmc spawn is 400 meters away
that will be 5$
if you walk about 150 meters in their direction but haven't encountered them
you have 2 plausible things to assume
- they pushed in the opposite direction
- no pmcs spawned there
or 3. they're late spawning but very unlikely
so basically have to memorize the distance between each spawn
if you're going in their direction and feel like you're halfway there
to other people apparently
pretty sure custom is very easy to know there ppl are
@warped halo nein :<
it's a good map to get a feel for the game
@warped halo i will dm later
customs is a bad map imo
i'm dere for hunt ppl
the choke points fuck new players
well kinda cause they really dont know much about the map
They're annoying as fuck
no newer players actually get out geared
time to go on an examine spree
and you can't avoid some fights because of choke points
If you have a key at least you can avoid a big choke point
actually literally everything is walled off
newer players don't have access to good ammo a lot of the time
everything feels like a killbox on customs
and you can't really just tell them to fleamarket bs rounds
that cost like 1500 roubles a shot
because of the number of walls and small buildings
i mean then there's people like me that dont even have flea access q.q
headshot key
it does help somtime
helps if you spawn inside the wall
why use the shortcut when you can jump the fence either direction like 5 meters away?
Depending on your spawn the shortcut "out" can be pretty safe.
um what about the other side ?
there's a concrete block
that you can jump over with
the portapotty is the other one that everyone knows about
and you dont think that is also open ?
they're all open
you make alots more noise
and the 1 thing is
even when you able to jump to the otherside
it has uses?????
yea
wack
Oh that's fine then
you're gonna die if you go through shortcut
like when you use the factory key you have a room to get in and get out xd
They spawn everywhere
people actually camp shortcut sometimes
NSPU-M scope worth much?
bruh it still have alots alots more cover
1 USD = how many roubles in game?
am I hoarding?
and you can run away
you have clear LOS from oldgas station train
@keen stratus only like 8k
where do you gonna run away after running xd ?
1 USD = how many roubles in game?
and can literally stare at the door of shortcut with a mosin
Kedr
from 200 to 300 meters away

I think it's like 1usd to 100 roubles or am I wrong
@warped halo You should remove the mags and grips from your weapons. Save some space. ๐
that why we also clear it ?
bruh
It's like $1 to R187
what level are you xd
ah
34
I think
2
how many wipe you been played ?
Check peacekeeper
since 2017
wtf
position*
I know the sniper position
den clear it xd
what do you take to customs?
may I ask why the fuck examining exists in the game
a 6x?
when I can examine from the flea market
if a backpack is dropped from a body, how do I take it for myself?
valday
like the back is taken and dropped
and somtime just PSO
i can oinly search it
take yours off
most of the time is PSO xd
you know what's the dumbest thing
when you have no space
but you have space in your backpack in your backpack
if you hover, it says take or examine, no?
but i swear i havent been getting headshot while open the room
you can't pick a gun off the ground straight into that
no you have to do some hacky shit
@rotund sand take or search
right, that @fickle kettle
yes
Yep
okay thanks
You can uh
how can i unlock talking on the voice chat
so this is definitely a noob question but, are pmcs GUARENTEED to spawn at every spawn point on a map
And put that bag inside your bag
@solemn thicket but in the end both way are open
Or something like that
but is still good to have that key
ie. if you do a pmc run on a map and there's 10 pmc spawn points, is a pmc going to spawn at every point
and beside i died to scav bosses on new gas station when jump on the fence 
that why i dont recommend ppl doing that shet
I only use the key if a noobie Iโm teaching canโt jump the fence
didnt know the sa-58 cost around 60k just for the base gun
I'd use the key but not after like 5 mins in tbh
You donโt
you dont
Itโs random
you just have to expect it
Like if I spawned inside the wall and wanted to rush to dorms id use it
so just be aware of where the spawn points are and be wary around them?
Ye
ya
that why play slow
Just try to imagine that players move at roughly the same pace as you
Unless theyโre hatchlings
one of my flea market listings wont go away despite being out off stock?
Restart game
Hatchlings will sprint without a care for the world
just did that
I think
no luck
Thatโs why you should always be moving forward until you get in a gun fight or looting location
Depending on how long you take
Expect more people to show up
Either behind you or from opposite spawns
Ew

I donโt have the patience to play that campy
Got like 3 m4 doing that yday
this is why I'm still not doing my customs quest
Funny
sks is empirically worse
